Hi Guido,I am so excited to find this blog. I have a very special interest in conductor's rehearsal. That's the most straightforward way to understand a conductor. In fact, I have been looking for the AS Disc Cantelli's Tchaikovsky symphony no.4 with rehearsal more than 10 years. That performance has been re-published by other labels but without the rehearsal part. Thanks thanks thanks so much for this great dedicated blog. I am wondering if you happen to have the Horst Stein Tchaikovsky and Beethoven symphony 5 LPs, and can transfer them into digital format.

Hi NVC, thank you for your appreciation and congratulations for your very, very special blog. Unfortunately I've not the mentioned Horst Stein LPs. Just listened for Stein Bruckner 6th posted by you. Wonderful. In case of interest I can send you his Bruckner 2 (Decca SHM CD), Das Buch mit Sieben Siegeln (Calig) and a live Ring from Bayreuth.

The more I listen to him, the more I realize that he was a giant. Now I'm listening to the 3rd symphony. What a wonderfully paced performance, neither dragged nor rushed, and perfect in its orchestral balance. And the sound is really great.
